Recent respective form guides

Forfar Athletic's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Loons have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Stenhousemuir's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Warriors's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Forfar Ath. see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 50 points from their 35 games played so far, Stenhousemuir's total of 55 points from their 35 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Irn Bru Scottish Division Three.
